FPGAの書き込みで今までのブラスターで Windows 11では認識しなかったのですが この商品はすぐ認識し動作しました。

Works flawlessly with Windows 10. Writes a 16 megabyte image to flash in about half a minute, compared to the USB Blasters in the black and blue case that take about 4-5 minutes to write the same image, if they work at all.

This programmer works perfectly fine in Windows. If you have a Windows computer and you need an Altera/Intel FPGA programmer cheaper than the official one, this is the USB Blaster for you. It's great. However, in Linux, there is something seriously wrong. The reliability of it is really spotty, at least with Altera's programming software. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The more you ask it to do, the less likely it will succeed. I can get an erase to succeed often, but I've never been able to do a full erase/program/verify cycle in the Altera software without a failure somewhere. It's kind of shocking because if you open this up, it has the FTDI FT245RL and Altera CPLD that people say is the best type of USB Blaster clone. But there's something seriously wrong with it when Altera's Linux software is controlling it. I was able to get it to work with OpenOCD and UrJTAG on Linux. The drawback is they are both really slow to use for programming it. If you're looking for Linux compatibility, look elsewhere.

Got a recommendation on Discord to try this JTAG interface to update my core on the Vampire's Cyclone 5's FPGA and it worked flawlessly with Quartus Lite 18.1 with Cyclone device support drivers.
